Why Yahoo’s BrowserPlus has a long way to go
Friday, June 6th, 2008Yahoo recently announced BrowserPlus, a browser-plugin based runtime that enables web applications to “break out of the browser”, and offer functionality typically reserved for desktop applications. While not entirely ready yet, a preview release of BrowserPlus demonstrates building some common applications purely in HTML/CSS/JavaScript, including an IRC client, a drag-and-drop photo uploader and a JSON AJAX request inspector.
With BrowserPlus, Yahoo wants to make web apps “break out of the browser”, bridging standard web technologies with OS APIs and bringing web apps a step closer to desktop apps. However, the approach isn’t at all new; Gears (formerly Google Gears) did the same with local storage for web …

The leadup to WebDU: web conference with a difference
Monday, June 2nd, 2008The time for WebDU, Australia’s only web conference with a dedicated ColdFusion track, is just around the corner. The fun starts next week with workshops on the 11th of June followed by the conference itself on the 12th and 13th, at the Sydney Convention Centre. I’ll be there to cover all the action for SitePoint.
First up, the workshops. You can signup for a full day of Flash, Flex, or FarCry - but I hear the one NOT to miss is Mark Mandel’s session on the Transfer ORM framework. Mark will take participants through building a sample application with Transfer, including Eclipse setup, Transfer installation and configuration, basic usage and some of the more advanced stuff too - …

There’s no prize for second best!
Sunday, June 1st, 2008At SitePoint we’re blessed with an ability to get great insight on what people think. We have a great forum, customers review our products all the time, I’ve mentioned Twitter before, there’s Google news and so on…
One style of coverage that very hard to miss is when your compared against the competition. What’s even harder to ignore is when you’re ranked number 1!
So what does this tell us? Perhaps that just one person, on one blog thinks we are the best, or maybe that generally we’re heading in the right direction.
The real lesson here is that …

ASP.NET MVC Preview 3 is Out!
Wednesday, May 28th, 2008Long-time no blog, eh? I am slowly climbing back into the saddle here after life got sidetracked by a combination of personal and professional issues that were consuming 27 or so hours a day. I’ll post a full .NET on the ‘Net update next week, but for now I will leave you with a round-up about a very important new product. In case you missed it, ASP.NET MVC Preview 3 is out. See Scott Guthrie’s announcement for a feature run through; Scott Hanselman’s screencasts for an introduction and Phil Haack’s updated Northwind Application for a sample. To really get jiggy with MVC (and a host of other modern development …
